Pearl Tutorial Day 1

So here we go with the first of 6 tutorials to make Atc's/cards. These went down a storm in the summer but were unfortunately wiped when the blog was sabotaged. These are all new samples with new colour schemes as well. I am going to start today showing the background technique that i have used for every sample and then every day there will be a new end result using it. I am using my favourite pigment pearls, of course!! So here goes.

Step 1 Apply Spiced Marmalade Distress ink to a piece of 7 1/2 x 7 in white card using a piece of cut n Dry foam in a circular motion.

Step 2. Apply Raspberry ink using the same method. Make sure there are no white spaces left by blending over the orange ink. If you require a darker background go over the orange and raspberry inks again.

Step 3. Spritz a puddle of water into a cupped hand

Step 4. Flick the water onto the inked background.

Step 5. Leave the water to penetrate the ink, for approx 20 - 30 secs, and then lift off with a paper towel.

Step 6. Cut the background into 6 pieces measuring 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 in.

To make Atc's / Cards.

Step 1. Ink flower stamp ( A Little Bit of This) with Carnation Archival ink and stamp all over a piece of background.
